Ferrari School: New technical training facility opens in Maranello
All those wasted years sitting in ordinary classrooms, drawing pictures of cars in our notebooks. We should have gone to Ferrari school! The Prancing Horse marque has just inaugurated its new Training Center with a 1,200 square-meter facility near the factory in Maranello.
The new Ferrari Training Center replaces the previous classrooms used at the factory and includes new workshops, classrooms and offices where the company offers courses in mechanics, bodywork, electric systems, product information and post-sales. A total of 149 courses at basic and advanced levels in a variety of languages will be offered. The courses are aimed at the 1,500 technicians in the worldwide Ferrari network. Basic courses are required for all Ferrari technicians, and the advanced courses lead to certification as a reference expert in any of the brand's 52 markets worldwide.
The courses offered at the training center – as well as at satellite facilities in the US, Great Britain and China – are Ferrari's way of ensuring that its technicians and staff around the globe are providing the best service possible. Sure beats the basic auto mechanics course from the local community college.

Hi, I'm 15 and currently doing an IMI Awards Level 1 Vehicle Fitting Engineering coarse at Waltham Forest College in London, I was wondering if there is a Ferrari School in London as I have been very interested in mechanical engineering since I was 8 yrs old. My ambition is to be a Ferrari mechanic.
I'm also currently doing a DOE Award (Duke of Edinburgh Award) via the Army C adets. One of my teachers at school is trying to get me in a Young Apprenticeship, I've herd that one of the pupils in my school is doing this Apprenticeship and will be meeting Sir Allen Sugar.
I will be very great full if I could have some info on how to achieve my ambition and if there is a Ferrari School in London or any school in London that will help me towards my future career. Basically, any general info that will be useful.
If anybody has any information please could you send an email to my email address at ferrarigta@hotmail.co.uk, it would most appreciated
THANK YOU
